Stories Aloud

From the award-winning authors of George's Amazing Adventures, and the illustrator of Caryl Hart's top-selling Girls Can Do Anything!

Charlotte and Adam Guillain met in Zanzibar while working with Voluntary Services Overseas. Charlotte’s house was near the sea—perfect for swimming with dolphins and hanging out with bush babies. Adam lived in a rainforest, where he spent his time playing the guitar and cooking. Since then, Adam and Charlotte have made up lots of songs and stories together.

Ali Pye had wanted to be an illustrator ever since she was little and used to draw stories, sticking the pages together to make little books. But it took her a few years, and a stint as a copy editor, before she started drawing professionally. She graduated from Kingston University with an MA in Illustration in 2010 and is now a full-time illustrator.
